Mums' moment to shine.

Last fall Velma Dawson of Moberly, left, visited Moberly's yard waste drop-off facility with leaves when she saw two discarded wilted sickly looking mums. Velma rescued those mums and with some T.L.C. they have both grown and are now producing fabulous color. Ernie Padgett, of 727 S. Williams, Moberly enjoys his flowers, but this summer it was a constant battle to keep them alive with the high temperatures and severe drought. His mums made it through and with the beautiful fall colors – it was worth the effort. Although this fall may not be as colorful as some, be sure to take the time to look around the countryside as there are still a few amazing sights.
